We brew beer that we love to drink and pride ourselves on our craft. Whether it’s a Hazy Vegan IPA or a Barrel Aged Imperial Stout, we regularly refine and tweak our recipes to brew the best beer we can.
Originally launched because the co-owner and head brewer of Penpont Brewery Joe Thompson wanted to brew a more modern style so Firebrand Brewing Co. was created.

Can on 18th January 2025, received as Christmas gift. Pours a hazy coppery amber with a heavy, dense collapsing foam and scant lacing. Malts, peels and soft pungencies in aroma. Rich zesty and tangy fruits in-mouth, some nutty malts and a complex finish both bitter and fruity with spices. Medium bodied with a zingy mouthfeel. Superb.

Sweet malts and fruits in aroma. Citrus fruits in-mouth and a citrus note then leads the finish. Medium bodied with a zingy mouthfeel.

Can on 12th January 2025, received as Christmas gift. Pours a hazy amber with any foam quick to disappear without lacing. Sweet mango fruitiness in aroma. Sweet and tangy fruits in-mouth, and a finish of citruses and lactic notes. Full bodied with a zingy mouthfeel.

27/3/2021. Can shared at the lockdown virtual beer share. Cheers Grumbo. Aroma as a bit soapy with citrus and tart notes. High enough carbonation with a citrus bitter finish.

Shared with Dan and Grumbo. Aroma is fruity, hoppy, grapefruit and citrus. Tropical taste comes through. It is very good.

Sample courtesy of Grumbo, cheers. Aroma is very herbal which dominates and does not allow much else in. Bitter grapefruit comes through in the taste. Quite dry with minimal carbonation.

Sample courtesy of Grumbo, cheers GB! Aroma of grass, herbal, and caramel. Caramel taste is quite thin and watery.
